Is enough being done to diminish poverty in modern society? 

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, the international community has made strides over the years, in diminishing poverty in society. Now let me explain the details.     

First, according to the UN statistics, the number of low-income people has decreased in recent years, thanks to economic growth in Asian countries such as China and India. This economic growth has improved the living standards of the poor. Plus, promoting “fair trade” aims to empower poor communities and boost the economy.     

Next, I understand some may argue that challenges remain, particularly in certain regions such as sub-Saháran Africa. However, the people in those areas also understand that the governments are trying their best with limited resources, and expresses support for them. It will take years of hard work and commitment to resolve these problems. In other words, just we don’t see quick results doesn’t necessarily mean nothing is happening.     

Therefore, even though there is still room for improvement, I conclude that our society is making its best effort to diminish poverty. Thank you for your attention. [186 Words Type-E]
